rooSwitch Description

Create different copies of almost any applications data. rooSwitch is a useful program that exists to make it easy for you to create different copies of almost any applications data. You then switch amongst the profiles to activate the data you wish to use. It's like a multi-user environment for just one application.Who is it for?· Developers - Constantly shuffling data files around as you test different environments (new user, user with lots of data, etc)? rooSwitch takes care of that shuffling for you. I wrote rooSwitch for this exact purpose. I needed help testing my other product, rooVid.· Testers - Using beta quality software and concerned about your real data? rooSwitch makes it easy for you to create a backup of all your preferences and any other files associated with your favorite application.· Users - Just like to know your favorite application's data is backed up safely? rooSwitch's 'duplicate' feature allows you to take snapshots of an individual applications data. Keep that applications .rooSwitch file safe and the settings that you duplicated are safe and easy to restore. Limitations: · 32 switches trial. What's New in This Release: · rooSwitch 1.5 includes two new features that may need further explanation: "Locked" profiles and replacing a file in an existing profile. Locking a profile: · A locked profile is a profile that will never change. While active, you may do things that cause some of the data files to change, when you switch away, and back to a locked profile it always starts back with the data as it was when it was first locked. · To lock a profile double click on it to open the profile editor and check the 'lock' checkbox. · Note: You may only lock profiles if your document is set to "Copy Files". The lock option will be disabled if your document is set to "Move Files". Replacing existing files: · In previous versions trying to add a file to a profile that had a file with the same name would result in an error. Now when you do this rooSwitch will ask you if you want to update the profile with the file being added. This is great for when someone sends you a copy of their preferences file or Application Support files. Just make sure the file names are exactly the same and rooSwitch will know what to do with it. Support for Adobe AIR Applications: · Prior to the 1.5 release, dropping an Adobe AIR application on rooSwitch didn't work as one would expect. Not all the required files were switched. This has been fixed and Adobe AIR applications are now supported.
